Neos Networks has expanded its Livequote platform with CityFibre and ITS. The move gives UK businesses a wider route to enterprise connectivity. It also raises the platform’s available network options to ten.
The expansion arrives during a sensitive period for UK fibre competition. BT is still pursuing its acquisition of TalkTalk and PXC. Meanwhile, the CMA has raised concerns over Nexfibre’s planned acquisition of Netomnia.
Against that backdrop, Livequote aims to simplify network buying. Businesses can compare multiple providers through one system. They can then select services based on location, capacity, and availability.
The platform already includes Neos Networks’ own infrastructure. It also includes BT Wholesale, Openreach, Virgin Media Business, PXC, Colt, Sky, and Vorboss. CityFibre and ITS now extend that list.
CityFibre adds broader access to high-capacity fibre services. This should help enterprises source Ethernet connections in more areas. Ethernet remains vital for predictable business connectivity and stable cloud access.
ITS brings direct access to Ethernet and Ethernet over FTTP services. FTTP means fibre runs directly to the premises. This can improve performance compared with older copper-based access.
The ITS footprint covers major UK business regions. These include London, the North-West, Midlands, Yorkshire, Scotland, and the South-West. That reach matters for distributed companies and managed service providers.
For VoIP engineers, reliable access choices remain important. Voice platforms depend on stable latency and consistent bandwidth. More network options can improve resilience across multi-site deployments.
However, wider selection can also make procurement more complex. Buyers still need clear service-level comparisons and realistic availability checks. Coverage maps alone rarely tell the full operational story.
Neos Networks Director of Product, Digital and Pre-Sales, Nafsika Katsoglou, said: “Consolidation is changing who owns the UK’s connectivity infrastructure, but it shouldn’t reduce the choices available to customers.
“Livequote is designed as per our strategy to give customers greater clarity and choice by bringing multiple network options together in one place. With CityFibre and ITS expanding that choice even further, customers can select the right connectivity for each location rather than being tied to a single network operator”.
ITS Chief Sales Officer, Dave Ferry, added: “We’ve built our infrastructure around the needs of businesses in major towns and cities across the country. Combining that local reach with Neos Networks’ national backhaul network gives customers greater connectivity choice and direct access to our Ethernet and Ethernet over FTTP services in the UK’s major business conurbations.”
The broader message is clear. UK enterprises want flexibility, not single-network dependency. Platforms like Livequote may gain importance as fibre ownership keeps shifting.
